I'm starting to go blind already. <br />Anyway, while the article discusses a link between the cubs and a's, a little minimally intriguing tidbit from an anonymous source at the end (so you know it's the truth!): "One NL source said the Giants and Indians could approach the A's about Cust, but haven't just yet. The Orioles could also make a move as well." <br />So we could be in for the love-child of Adam Dunn and the Michelin Man. Probably not, but just as a thought experiment, how do you feel about this? He's the exact opposite of every player on this team... hits for power, no speed or glove whatsoever (actually. career uzr of -20.4 in the OF, although methinks he might be slightly more bearable if we slotted him at first), walks a shit-ton, strikes out a lot and has an average that puts him in the range of ray charles taking hacks with a wooden chopstick... ok almost the opposite. So how's about giving Shamu a glove and giving it a go? <br />Btw, pre-sarchasm... this may be the worst idea i've seen for us yet.</p></div> http://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2009/11/24/1172042/elsewhere-on-sbn beat_la_25 2009-11-23T22:08:41Z 2009-11-23T22:08:41Z <h3 class="link-title"><a href="http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2009/11/jermaine-dye-open-to-first-base.html">Your New Giants'&nbsp;1Bman</a></h3> <div class="description"><p>So this is what Sabean had in mind all this time..........</p></div> http://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2009/11/23/1170986/your-new-giants-1bman oldrips 2009-11-23T21:33:07Z 2009-11-23T21:33:07Z <h3 class="link-title"><a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/news/story?id=4682541">Vizquel Signs with White&nbsp;Sox</a></h3> <div class="description"><p>1 yr $1.375 mil.</p></div> http://www.mccoveychronicles.com/2009/11/23/1170925/vizquel-signs-with-white-sox scout6 2009-11-23T20:07:13Z 2009-11-23T20:07:13Z <h3 class="link-title"><a href="http://www.minorleagueball.com/2009/11/23/1170712/san-francisco-giants-farm-system">Discuss Giants Farm&nbsp;System</a></h3> <div class="description"><p>John Sickels has an open thread to discuss the Giants farm system.
